  I've started using Open Street Maps for navigation, and I love it. No ads. Polite warnings about crosswalks. Easy options for walking, public transit, and horse routes.

  I accidentally texted my mom who I love very much a complaint about how she chooses dogs (she doesn't personality test/therefore she shouldn't be allowed to choose dogs), and now I have forever contaminated conversations about the puppy she is adopting. I am upset and the only thing that makes it tolerable is calling myself stupid and other such names, which I try not to do...

  Six foot tall weeds bring the dragonflies to the yard!

  A center of utter contentment.

  What's this thing on the wild black cherry tree? Northeast USA.

  I'm in the sort of mood where I keep looking for little projects to start and not finish, and in that spirit: any recommendations for little shops sell basic star stickers and whatnot for rewards?

  Telling people voles and groundhogs and whatnot aerate their soil and improve their plants over time which may be true, but have I ever looked it up? I have not. I just want the little guys to have homes.

  (I'm sorry if I've been erratic with replies and everything. Health and mood have been erratic, and they've brought out my impulsive novelty seeking tendencies... You are all great, thank you for being patient, I am not ignoring you, I was very very grateful to know about the tent caterpillar mass, I just can't find the replies)

  Certain things melt my heart, and Wimsey tucking her head against mine is one of those things. #caturday

  Body nonsense is showing up with fatigue and, bizarrely, an appetite that won't turn off! Never in my life experienced this, and it is weird. Doctor stuff has been initiated, and I continue to use what brain I have to soak up litRPG audiobooks. Almost like playing videogames myself!

  Got to gently harass a garter snake today, as a little treat.

  Listening to the almost water-splashing noise of distant turkeys gobbling. #BirdCallOut

  The red maple blossoms have laid siege to our house; they come inside at every opportunity: little red stars with a glitter of yellow pollen at the center.

  Anyone know of resources that tell you when it's time to leave a public comment? I have heard that leaving public comments may not stop a bad thing from being done, but it can be useful for future lawsuits.

  Life is slow around here. I've run out of Dungeon Crawler Carl books, and I'm still coming down off that reading binge. We have a few brave daffodils opening; they seem unconcerned by the occasional freezing temperatures. I continue to improve my ability to help my body. I think I've unpinched/uncompressed some nerves in my spine. Learning this sort of thing plus daily pain takes most of my functional attention. Not a bad life, though.

  I'm not a creep for admiring this squirrel's backside so much, am I?

  Sammy the dog is cursed to be in the most inconvenient location. She has a long and fruitful history of tripping humans by walking right into their path, or blocking exactly what they are trying to reach. Today, she took a poo, and I headed toward it with a bag. She wheeled around and bounded joyfully toward me and planted a paw right in the poo. I had to scrub between her toes. Yuck!

  Thanks to my friends and their media connesieur tastes, we are watching The Pitt. It's some excellent character work. I love the charge nurse.

  Redwing blackbirds are back. We have opened the windows to let in some actual air on this warm day, and from everywhere in the house, you can hear their whistles and laser sound effects noise. Thw cardinals must be thinking oh gawd, the tourists are back, but I love it.

  This is delightful fun: how far back in time can you understand English? In a fictional travel blog, the author writes about their experience in a small town, jumping back 100 years of English each entry. https://www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-back-in-time-understand-english
